Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I don't know what's wrong with me today. I keep having to do things like phone Matt to check he still likes me, and I can't stick to one work-related item for more than 15 minutes before jumping to something else. This post has taken me all day to write, because I can't concentrate on that either. I'm all buzzy, but exhausted at the same time.Blech. Nothing a good evening on the sofa won't fix.

Note to the three people with surfboards wandering around the train station at lunchtime: When carrying a surfboard, abruptly coming to a standstill then turning round is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Surfboards hurt when they whack you.

I have no idea what this means: Star Guitar Michel Gondry returns to the Chems stable to sync up the beat with the aesthetic in fine style. Groundbreaking and the perfect compliment to the pulsating new track from Tom and Ed.

That "Chinese Room" argument doesn't really seem to me to argue against the possibility of AI. It just says that we wouldn't really know for sure what's going on in the computer's mind, and it wouldn't really know what was going on in ours. Why does it have to see things the same way that we do in order to be considered intelligent?

And if you like that Dhives Akuru script, you ought to see the writing that people use in Sri Lanka.
